“It’s great because last year in the Saratoga Dew, (My Dinah) lost by like a nose (actually a neck),” Feron said. “We were like five lengths ahead in the stretch and she got caught at the wire. This is obviously much more exciting.”

My Dinah, who paid $16.20 to win, finished the seven-furlong dirt race in 1 minute, 22.86 seconds. She’s a daughter of Victory Gallop, who beat Real Quiet at the 1998 Belmont to deny him the Triple Crown.

Feron trains out of Akindale Farm in Dutchess County. She shipped My Dinah up at 5 a.m. on Friday.
